Verdict

The market should tell us plenty about the Joseph O'Brien trio of Play With The Wind ,On The Mend and Mortal but a chance is taken on newcomer SAFFRON AND GREY, who was quite an expensive purchase and is bred to do well. The yard obviously get plenty of winners here and he could be good enough at the first time of asking. Massey's Wood would hold chances if the headgear works, especially in what promises to be deep ground, and both he and Antey need a second look.
  1. Saffron And Grey
  2. Mortal
  3. Massey's Wood
